SHANGHAI, Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 28th 2014, Hilton Shanghai was transformed into a winter wonderland with a festive Christmas tree and the charming Charity Christmas Train village, which has become a beloved annual Shanghai event.
The annual charity project is now on the 19th year, and this year, Hilton Shanghai continues its charity deed by sponsoring Shanghai Sunrise Charity Foundation and the aid to Shanghai Renji Hospital. The Christmas Charity Train Project is an annual commitment of Hilton Shanghai to help spread Holiday cheers to our less fortunate people in the community. The proceeds of this charity campaign help support Shanghai Sunrise in funding the education needs of underprivileged children in Shanghai. In addition, financial aid is also extended to indigent patients at Shanghai Renji Hospital. Our hope is to spread the love and care to the community and bring happiness.
In the evening, Mr. Gerd Knaust, the General Manager of Hilton Shanghai, joined in wishing a joyous, meaningful Christmas and a wonderful new year, that continued by a big moment in the 19 years of history of the charity project at Hilton, lighting the Christmas tree with the laser beam passed by the laser dancers. Meantime, a loud train whistle signified the launch of the Hilton Charity Christmas Train.
From now till January 2015, the landscape of quaint houses, rustic bridges, old-fashioned filling stations and railroad tracks that wind around snow-capped mountains will once again brighten up the Hilton lobby and many less fortunate lives.
